What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device to make it work properly and to remember choices. Some are essential; others are optional.

Your choices

Because our website serves a school community that includes children, we use an opt-in approach: optional cookies (such as embedded video and analytics) are blocked until you accept them. When you first visit, a banner lets you Accept or Reject. You can change your mind anytime using the “Cookie Settings” link on the site, or by clearing cookies in your browser.

Third-party cookies

Some optional cookies are set by third parties when their content is shown (for example, an embedded YouTube video). We use privacy-enhanced options where available, and these do not load until you consent. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Children’s privacy

Consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we block non-essential cookies until consent and do not knowingly use this website to collect personal information from children under 13. See our Privacy Policy for more.
